Today is a very sad day for the people of Christchurch, one of New Zealand's largest and I think most beautiful cities. One year on since that terrible day our thoughts go out to the people of Christchurch and around the world who lost loved ones. Also the lives that have been changed by horrific injuries, homes and businesses lost. Buildings can be rebuilt but peoples shattered lives and minds will take longer to heal. I speak as one who knows the impact on my family, whose lives have been turned upside down not because of injury but being displaced from their home and schools but who are making new lives away from the eastern suburbs where they once lived. Their home can be rebuilt but as it is on the edge of the red zone i don't think they will ever go back there to live. A grandchild that is too scared to go to bed at night still and the terror in her face with every loud noise. But I am so thankful that they are okay and proud of them still battling all the problems they face every day.
Christchurch we haven't forgotton you.
